151	I0049	Not all the date has become available yet, but it is strongly believed that Sarah was a descendant of the brother of Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury, who was burnt at the stake for his religious beliefs (devotion to Protestantism) in England in 1556. Sarah was a Quaker and it is believed that she and her family came to NJ to avoid religious persecution. When she married Amos London she was expelled by the Quakers for marrying a non-Quaker.

153	I0051	Both Elijah and his younger brother Nelson bought property in Iron County while still living in Washington Co, MO., perhaps that section of Washington Co became Iron Co when it was formed in 1857. They lived next to each other for the rest of their lives, Nelson outliving Elijah by several years. They lived in a place which became known as Hawk's Lane in Iron County, and later on a school was built there which was called Hawk's school. Nelson contributed financially to the construction of the school. 1860 Census Record, Iron Co, Dent Twp., MO Elijah Hock, 30 years old, born in MO, farmer, value of real estate $200, value of personal property $250 Mary Hock, 25 years old, born in MO, can read and write Lucinda, 4 years old, born in MO William, 2 years old, born in MO 1870 Census Record, Iron Co, Ironton, MO Elijah Hawk, 41, farmer, real estate valued at $500, personal property worth $135, can vote.

154	I0052	George Hawk, married Anna clark, April 11, 1826, Washington County, MO "Bellevue - Beautiful View: The History of the Bellevue Valley, and Surrounding Area" A book about the early years of Washington County, MO. "Undoubtedly, a number of families arrived in this township during this twenty year period which we have little or no record of. John and Able Strickland moved to the east fork of the Black River during this time. George Hawk who was born in Virginia in ca. 1794 moved to the Lesterville vicinity then moved on Strother Creek where the community of Hawk Lane began. Many of the Black River's first inhabitants came by way of Cumberland County, Kentucky which is an indication that stories told by the first people to arrive filtered back to Kentucky and influenced a number of people to come to the Black River Township. We the descendants of these brave men and women should be very proud and thankful for the heritage that they left us. They overcame all the hardships and adversities common to frontier life to carve out of a wilderness a good life for us all." 1830 Census Record, Washington County, MO George Hawk, 4 males, 2 under 5 years of age, one between 10 and 15 and one 30-40 (George), 3 females, 2 between 10 and 15 and one between 30-40 (Anna, his wife). One of the males should be his son Elijah, the other one may be Nelson but he was not supposed to have been born until 1831. The three children between 10-15 years of age are either George's from an earlier marriage, or perhaps siblings, or perhaps Anna's from an earlier marriage. George is living close to John and Able Strickland. Is this an indication they were friends and came west together? A Solomon Hawk is found living close by in Washington County at this time. It would seem likely that this is an older brother of George. Solomon Hawk 40-50 years of age (so slightly older than George) 1 male, age 5-10, 2 males age 10-15 2 daughters under 5 1 daughter 5-10 Wife, 30-40 years old 1840 Census Record, Washington County, Black River Twp., MO George Hawk, 4 males, one between 5-10 (Nelson), 2 between (Elijah and someone else) 10-15, one between 40-50 (George), one female between 40-50 (Anna). 1850 Census Record, Washington Co, Harmony Twp., MO George Hawk, 56 years old, born VA, Farmer, can read and write Anny Hawk, 56, born in SC, can read and write Elijah Hawk, 21 years old, born MO Nelson Hawk, 18 years old, born MO 1860 Census Record, Iron County, Dent Twp., MO George Hock, 66 years old, farmer, born in VA Emma, 66 years old, born in SC Neither George nor Annie are found on any more census records so one can assume they both died between 1860 and 1870. There is a George Hawk listed in the 1820 census records for Franklin Co, IN, Blooming Grove. The number of children and ages of children and of George and his wife fit the later census records. On the earlier page is an Adam Hawk who is also about the same age as George. The interesting thing is that George Sumpter lives in the same county, and there is a close relationship between the Sumpters and the Hawks. The Sumpters were originally from Henry County, VA.

157	I00543	The following appeared in the church newsletter of Dr. Donald E. Riggs. During High School days, Pastor John Riggs carried papers during his freshman year and worked in a grocery store the rest of those growing years. After graduation he worked in the First National Bank of Bloomington, Indiana for fourteen years. During that time he served most every office in the church. On June 25, 1933 he married Dorothy Gines of Washington, Indiana who taught school for six years. They were active in the Bloomington Free Methodist Church where John joined at the age of fifteen and continued service and membership there until they entered the ministry in 1942. Before they entered the ministry Pearce Archer and Mary Joanna were born to the happy couple. John's first appointment was at the St. Francisville and Liberty circuit, Illinois. He pastored there four years and took the Headquarter's Ministerial four year course during his pastorate there. Janet Sue, now "Ames" was born there. In 1946 they were transferred to Light and Life Chapel, Indianapolis, Indiana where he was their first pastor. While there, Ruth Jeannine was born. He spent 10 years of his ministry serving in the Wabash conference of the Free Methodist Church of North America. John received a telephone call from Superintendent F. J. Archer of the Southern California-Arizona Conference on Thanksgiving night in 1951. January 3, 1952 found the family unloading their furniture at the parsonage of the Hillcrest Free Methodist Church, San Diego, California. Seven and one half wonderful years were spent there. It was a joy to see the Sunday School average go from 124 to 306, besides mothering the Grossmont-LeMesa Church. They pastored the Pasadena Church one year. Then came the appointment by the Conference Board of Administration to Conference Director of Finance. At this time they moved to Hermon on Monterey Road and lived there for fifteen years. For the first three years of this appointment, John was full time in the Conference office. Then they were assigned as Pastor of the Los Angeles Second church where he served for fifteen years. Thus, the last three years of his conference office he was also pastoring a church. Pearce, Janet and Jeannine were all married from the Hermon Church of which they were then members. John and Dot attended and served the Hermon Church the first three years while he was in the Conference office. As of conference 1978 he was retired as full time pastor and received the appointment as Associate Pastor of the Hermon Church. He made the statement in his farewell message at Second Church, "The Lord has one more mountain for him to climb." They are here with us at Hermon and what is best said of Pastor John is that he is LOVE.....pure, wonderful, sweet unmatched LOVE. We are so fortunate that he has agreed to be a part of our ministry. The Lord has truly been faithful to us. WE WELCOME WITH OPEN ARMS & HEARTS our own Pastor John Riggs and Dorothy. Order for funeral service.

How shallow would my life have been, how dark and hard the way But for a faithful man of God I met one blessed day. He told me of the love of God and how Christ died for me. But for a faithful man of God I still in sin would be. And as the years went passing by, my faith in Christ did grow, Because the faithful man of God was teaching me to sow. His warm, slow, patient, loving ways inspired me to seek The things he taught and lived himself; how blessed are the meek. He never was too busy; his help was always there. A faithful man that God could use in answer to my prayer. And now that God has called him home may my life prove to be As faithful as the one God sent to show the way to me. TRIBUTE by Paul N. Ellis John Riggs was my friend of many years. He and his family have been dear to my family since our youthful days. I am dimished by his death. My privilege of friendship with him is not unique however, for John Riggs was a sincere friend to all he knew. His capacity to love was boundless. - his love of God knew no reservation. - his love of wife and children was deep and abiding. - his love of those he served as pastor was all inclusive. - his love of friends brought joy and affirmation to all who knew him. When we first heard of his death, Delores exclaimed, John personified love. Indeed he did. Obituary: REV. JOHN RIGGS MEMORIAL SERVICE. Rev. James E.

158	I00550	This was sent to Wanda Gines by e-mail from "Ish" in 2003. I asked his permission to include it in our family history database. He agreed it was okay to do so. MAY I FEEL THE PAIN; MAY I REALIZE THE PRICE This is not just "Good Friday". For me it is a special one. But for you to understand it, I need to go back to this same time of year, 1945. As a nine year old kid growing up in Dallas, something happened that I will never forget. There in Dallas, at the State Fair Ground's large auditorium, they were having the Passion Play. Unlike many of our schools today, parents were then encouraged by our teachers to take their children out of school ( with an excused absence), and take them to that unique opportunity that only occasionally came to Dallas. My dad did just that. He took off work from Swift and Co. and made it a father/son day and we drove to Fair Park. We found our place in the balcony. On stage the acting was good and even today I can remember quite well parts of what we saw. But it wasn't what was occurring on stage that remains in my mind's eyes so vividly. As Dad and I and the several hundred others saw Christ being persecuted and then hung on the cross, tears flowed down my dad's cheeks, unashamedly. I looked around and honestly didn't see others crying. My dad was really hurting. Although I didn't put this together as a nine year old kid, I later realize that while I knew about Jesus, DAD KNEW JESUS. The enactment on that stage was of Dad's dearest Friend being falsely accused, beaten, made light of, and then killed and hung on the cross. I was perplexed and moved that someone could hang from a cross and wondered how that guy could do it. Dad not only knew that some good acting was occurring on stage, but that some 1950 years before his Friend had really done it. It wasn't fiction, for my Dad it was fact. Today, fifty seven years later, I can still see my Dad, in a rather dark auditorium with tears streaming down his checks, and I am so glad for that memory. This morning I read Chapters 26 and 27 in Matthew's gospel and my mind went back both almost 2000 years ago, but also 57 years ago. There was a lump in my throat, but I confess that I would have wanted tears to stream down my cheek like my dad's. Thankful, today I just don't know about Jesus, but I too know him as my Savior and friend. Somehow, I want to feel the pain as dad did. Last night Joanna and I attended a very moving and wonderful presentation by thirteen men at the Greenville United Methodist Church who enacted out a drama based on the Last Supper. When the lights came on, these men were sitting at a long table and were in the exact positions as shown in the famous painting with which we are all familiar. The lights would then go out long enough for one by one these men, all but ONE, to come to the microphone and introduce themselves to us and tell us about their relationship with the ONE who sat in the middle of the table. There was James, Peter, John, Matthew....you know those twelve. Each ended his talk recognizing that Jesus had just told them that one of them would be actually turning on their Leader... becoming the best known traitor that our world would probably ever know. The last words of each of the twelve were " Is it I? Is it I?" I was moved and even saddened to realize that too many times in my life, " It has been I ". Tonight Joanna and I will spend about an hour at our Free Methodist Church taking part in what has become a tradition, the Tenebrae Service. In the darkness of our church, we will be reminded again of the tremendous price that Christ paid of that Friday, years ago. I don't want to have to conger up tears, but my hope is that I will so realize the price that was paid for my sins, mistakes, and shortcomings that tears will just naturally flow. For, this is in fact about the One that I love most. Thankfully, this isn't all of the story. I want to be just as joyful on Sunday as I want to be saddened by the realizations of the original Good Friday.....for He is Risen, He is Risen Indeed.

162	I0057	There is a verbal history on "Old T.K." saying that he had to leave Virginia and his home in a hurry. The story goes that he was at a Fall Harvest Dance at a colored church and had pulled back a slab from over a well, and a slave of his uncle's had fallen into the well and been so injured that he was unable to work anymore. TK's uncle, upon learning this, had sworn out a warrant for T.K.'s arrest. One of his friends told him that he was about to be arrested, upon hearing this TK set out for lamp oil with an ox cart and kept on going. This was within a month of the death of his father so the story does not ring true. History of Jersey and Green Counties, Continental Historical Society, December 1885. Page 404: Thomas K. Phipps came to this country in 1848, and purchased then 40 acres of land in the western portion of the country. Three years later he sold this land and bought another forty to which he added 120 acres more in 1885, and divided his estate among his children, reserving 200 acres for himself. Mr. Phipps cleared nearly all his land, which was covered with bushes and small timber. he has been an enterprising and successful farmer. In 1878, he rented his farm to one of his sons and moved to Rosedale, where he built a dwelling house and a store building, and engaged in merchandising, purchasing a general stock of goods to the value of about a thousand dollars. He continued in business there four years, then on account of the death of his son, who was killed, he retunred to his farm where he now lives. He built a store room near his residence, and now sells general merchandise. Thomas K. Phipps was born in Virginia, December 17, 1819.

It is run by a steam engine, which is used, during the season, for running a threshing machine.Mr. Phipps threshes from 32,000 to 40,000 bushels of grain per year. (Ron Phipps states that he suspects that this was the steam engine that John Thomas Phipps traded in for a newer steam engine and was subsequently unable to make the payments on it, as a a result he lost his father's farm.) The Union Mills were built by the Union Mill co. the company consisted of Dr. W. Park, T.K. Phipps, J.H. Belt, Peter Dranery, William Krueger, Asa Briggs, Frank Brown, Charles McDaniels, John Terry, Z. Reddish and others. After completion, the mill was leased to J.H.

166	I00586	CONSUMPTION CLAIMS PROMINENT YOUNG MAN John Landis is dead after an illness lasting for only a few week. Many attend funeral. John G. Landis, the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Landis, passed away at their home just east of the city Saturday morning. The remains were laid to rest in Good Will Cemetery Monday afternoon after funeral services at the Landis residence conducted by the Rev. G. Halleck Rowe, of Shoals. John's health began failing only a few months ago after a severe attach of la grippe and when told by a local physician that he had tuberculosis he immediately left for Colorado Springs and entered the Modern Woodmen sanitarium in the expectation of regaining his usual robust health. He had been there but a short time when word was sent back by the physician in charge that nothing could be done for him and so in a few days more he was sent back home where he lived but three weeks more. Mr. Landis was only twenty-four years of age. He was born in Sumner, Illinois, but came to Loogootee with his parents at the age of only eight and has resided here since. Besides his parents he leaves two sisters; Mrs. A. T. Long, of Indianapolis, and Jessie, who is at home. For a number of years John had been an employee of the Southern Indiana Glass Works. He was a valued member of the factory's base ball team and was highly respected by both employers and associates. The factory employees and the ball club members attended the funeral in a body. The funeral services at the cemetery were in charge of the Modern Woodmen lodge of which John was a member and in which he carried one thousand dollars of life insurance. He was a well known young man and was liked by all who knew him. His premature death is a very great regret to a large circle of friends. RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT To the officers and members of Loogootee Camp No. 8,730 Modern Woodmen of America. Whereas, The Supreme Giver of Life in his infinite wisdom has called from our camp fires, from the midst of his friends and from the bosom of his family our beloved brother, John G.

173	I0061	Benjamin fought in the Revolutionary War. Pension application follows: (W 5,539: S.C. & VA) Grayson County, VA On the 24th day of September 1832 personally apprearing in open court, before the Justice of the court of Grayson County now sitting Benjamin Phipps, a resident of Grayson County in the state of Virginia aged 70 years who being first duly sworn according to the law, doth on his oath, make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the act of congress passed Jun 7th 1832. That he entered the service of the United States after the happening of the following circumstances. He was living at the house of Capt. John Cox on New River in Montgomery County, Virginia, now Grayson County, VA about the year 1779 or 80 engaged in making a crop of corn, when Col. Roberts at the head of a company of Tories, came there and made prisoners of himself, William Craig and Beverly Matkins. The said Tories took the declarant and carried him to the British army commanded by Lord Rawden. He remained with the said army, sick at the time of the battle of the Hanging rock, when the said army marched to Camden, After this the Declarent returned to New River in Grayson County after an absence of three years, as near as can now be recalled. He was afterward in an excursion against the Tories in the mountains, under James Cox, who acted as Capt. in the place of his father, Capt. John Cox, who was absent on a tour against the Indians. In this excursion they came up with the Tories, killed and wounded the whole party, except one who was the brother of Green, their commander, and who afterwards joind the American Army as a regular soldier. The Declarant will not say how long he was engaged in the US service in the whole, for fear he might err as to the precise time, but he is confident it was not less than six months. The declarant was born in Guilford County in the State of NC in the year 1761 or 2 as he believes, but has no record of his age. He was in SC when he entered the service, and since the Revolutionary Was he has lived in Grayson County where he now lives. He has no documentary evidence to prove his service, and never received any discharge from the service. He is known to James Cox, a contemporary survivor, and to Lewis Hail and Stephen Hail, who can testify as to the character for honesty and as to the belief of his service in the Revolutionary War. He hereby relinquishes any claim whatsoever to a pension or annuity except the present, and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any state. Sworn to, and subscribed, this day and year aforesaid. Signed with his mark Benjamin Phipps Mr. Stephen Hail, a clergyman, residing in the County of Grayson, and Lewis Hail, residing in the same county hereby certify that we are acquainted with Benjamin Phipps, who has subscribed and sworn to the above declaration: that we believe him to be 70 years of age: that he is reputed and believed in the neighborhood where he resides to have been a soldier of the Revolution: and that we concur in that opinion. Sworn and subscribed the ay and year aforesaid. Stephen Hair, Jr. Lewis Hail And the said court do hereby declare their opinion after the investigation of the matter, and after putting the interrogatories prescribed by the War Department that the above named applicant was a Revolutionary soldier and served as he states and the court further certifies that it appears to them, Stephen Hail, Jr. who has signed the preceding certificate is a clergyman resident in the County of Grayson and that Lewis Hail who also signed the same is a resident in the County of Grayson and is a credible person and that their statement is entitled to credit. I, Martin Deckerson, Clerk of the Court of Grayson County, do hereby certify that the foregoing contains the original proceedings of the said Court in the matter of the application of Benjamin Phipps for a pension. In testimony where I have hereunto set my hand and the seal of said Court at Office this 15th day of October 1832. M. Deckerson Note: The Col. Washington in the above document was the brother of General George Washington.

That she is the widow of Benjamin Phipps who was a Revolutionary soldier, and late a United States pensioner at the rate of Twenty Dollars per annum. For proof of service reference may be had to his declaration on file in the pension office at the war department of the United States. She further declared that she was married to the aforesaid Benjamin Phipps by One Robert Baker a Magistrate on the 5th Day of July in the year 1782, and the aforesaid Benjamin Phipps died on the 3rd of May 1838 and that she has remained a widow ever since that period and she further declared that owing to her very old age and decrepitudesof body, she is not able to go to the court house to make this declaration all of which will more appear by reference to the proof hereunto annexed. Sworn to and subscribed on the day and year above mentioned. Before me Signed with her mark William Young Jean Phipps William Young, John Phipps and David Cox all swore to the accurace of the above statement of Jean Phipps. Benjamin Phipps died on May 3, 1838. His remains, along with those of his wife, Jean, were moved from an abandoned cemetery to the Captain Joseph Phipps cemetery on the farm of Miss Celene Phipps by members of the New River Pioneer Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution. Benjamin is buried with his wife Jean, their son Captain Joseph Phipps, a grandson, Joseph Alexander Phipps, a great-grandson, Franklin Con Phipps, on property owned by a great, great, granddaughter, Cynthia Celene Phipps, and originally given to his son, Joseph Phipps. A number of their descendants are members of the Daughters of the American Revolution, Sons of the American Revolution and children of the American Revolution. In an ancestry chart for ancestors of Noah Hampton that discusses the migration patterns of families from PA and West NJ to VA, there is the following note: Another name that follows the same pattern is that of Phipps. The 1751 map of Virginia by Peter Jefferson and Joshua Fry shows the Phipps home site in the same general area where Noah Hampton lived. In Granville, NC, in 1760, Isiah Phipps wills to son Isiah a plantation in Hampshire County, Virginia and in Granville, to wife Ann the 200 acres bought by Andrew Hampton in Granville the day before. The name Benjamin Phipps is also found in the Frederick/Hampshire area of VA in 1760, then in Granville, NC, Rowan, NC, and then into Grayson County, VA on the New River.

175	I00624	Possible additional children's names Eliza E., Martha S., Sarah M., Rebecca J. Death claimed another of the pioneer residents of Sumner Tuesday morning of last week when "Uncle Isaac" Herrin passed away. He had lived in Sumner for more than thirty years, and had always been an honest and upright citizen. He was a man of decided opinions and and true to his religious as well as political principles and was devoted to his home and family by whom he will be greatly missed. The sympathy of a large circle of friends is with them in this great sorrow. The funeral services were conducted at the residence by his pastor, Rev. O. F. Culver, assisted by the members of the choir of the M. E. Church. The following obituary was read at the services: Isaac Herrin was born June 8th, 1831 died March 29, 1910, aged seventy-eight years, nine months and twenty-three days. He was twice married, first on November 9, 1852 to Emma Jane Matthews. From this union were born six children, one dying in infancy. His wife died November 6, 1862. On July 23, 1863 he was married to Mary E. Brown. To this union were born seven children, two of whom have preceded him to the better world. At the age of thirty years in 1861 he was converted and united with the Methodist Episcopal church and lived in that church for forty-nine years. For about twenty-five years he was sexion of the church in Sumner and remained faithful as a keeper of the house of God as long as the responsibility rested upon him. He has been a sufferer for several years and in his last illness suffered but cheerful when spoken to about his hope for eternity and expressed himself as ready to depart and be with Christ when it was God's will to release him from this life. Peacefully, at 5 a.m. March 29, he fell asleep in Jesus and is here no more, for God took him. CARD OF THANKS (from newspaper clipping) We wish to thank all our neighbors and friends and especially Brother Culver and the members of the M. E. church for their many acts of kindness and words of consolation to us during the sickness and burial of our dear husband and father.

180	I0069	From Lawmaking and Legislators in Pennsylvania, a Biographical Dictionary, Volume One, 1682-1709, Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh. Joseph Phipps Assembly: Chester Co. 1683 Born 28 August 1640 Reading, Berkshire, England, arrived circa 1682, died by October 1716. Father: Thomas Phipps. Married 1665 Sarah Brimfield (c. 1643-1725): children: John, Isaiah, Josiah, Joseph, Ann, Benjamin (d 1675), Lydia, Benjamin (b 1676), Thomas, William, Zephaniah. Offices: Phila Co.: Tax collector, 1696-97: Cheltenham Twp.: tax collector, 1693. Joseph Phipps, an English Quaker tallow-chandler who underwent repeated imprisonment for his faith, immigrated to Pennsylvania where he lived for over 30 years; he accumulated a substantial land estate but was relatively inactive politically. Born in 1640 in Reading, Berkshire, England, Phipps had become a Quaker by January 1661, when he was imprisoned for refusing to swear the oath of allegience. He was imprisoned at least six more times between June 1662 and July 1666 for attending illegal religious meetings; alhough sentenced in July 1666 to be transported to the colonies, Phipps remained in jail until released by royal pardon in 1672. His wife, Sarah Phipps, having been imprisoned in 1671, was also released a that time. Phipps suffered his final incarceration from October 1675 to February 1676, again for refusing to swear the oath of allegiance. A member of Reading Monthly Meeting, Phipps attended at least 21 sessions between 1669 and 1682; in 1680 he signed a certificate against the behavior of Thomas Curtis, who lead a separatist movement from the monthly meeting. Presumably tired of the constant harassment, Phipps immigrated with his family to Chester county, Pennsylvania, apparently in 1682, for he represented that county in the 1683 Assembly, where he served on a committee to determine fines on members absent for entire sessions. He also served on a trial jury at Chester County court in June 1683 and on a grand jury at Philadelphia County court on March 1686, although he was fined in June 1686 for absenting himself from a trial jury. Aside from two brief stints as a tax colletor, Phipps does not appear to have engaged in further public service. Phipps apparently had rights through several purchases to at least 1500 acres in Pennsylvania, which were located in Concord and Upper Providence townships, Chester County, and in the area of Cheltenham and Abington townships, Philadelphia County. He also owned two Philadelphia city lots, along Front and Third streets between Mulberry and Sassafras streets; he resided on the Front Street lot until April 1693, when he moved to Abington. Phipps sold his other Philadelphia city lot in 1695, the year in which his home and outbuildings at Abington burned down, prompting Philadelphia monthly Meeting to subscribe almost L23 for his assistance. In 1690 Phipps had also sold 400 acres in Kent County that he had acquired three years earlier from William Berry. Although Sarah Phipps became a Quaker minister after 1700, her husband does not appear to have been particularly active among Friends. A member of Abington Monthly Meeting after 1694, Phipps was one of the two Friends called upon in 1698 to inspect the behavior at Cheltenham Friend's youth meetings and was one of five Friends appointed in 1700 to inspect the accounts of the building of Abington meetinghouse. Between 1706 and 1708 Phipps converyed both his Abington home and 284 acres to his son John, while in 1710-11 he conveyed another 150 acres to John and 150 acres to another son, Isaiah. Phipps drew up his will on 1 April 1709, leaving the bulk of his personal estate to his wife and son John, the latter to act as executor, with Samuel Cart and Thomas Canby as overseers. The will was probabated on 13, October, 1716, two days after his estate was appraised at L45. It was noted in the Bradley family file that Joseph has been stricken with paralysis several years before his death. Will of Joseph Phipps, 1709, Chester Co. PA (Book D, page 79, Philadelphia). Will proved 13 October 1716. I Joseph Phipps of the township of Abington in ye County of Philadelphia, yeoman, being in good health and of a sound and perfect memory, Calling to Remembrance the uncertain State of this Transitory Life and that all flesh must yield unto death when it do Please God to Call, Do make, Constitute, Ordain and Declare this my Last Will and Testament in manner following, Revoking and Annulling by these presents all and every Testament Testaments Will and Wills heretofore made and Declared either by Word or Writing and this is to be taken only for my last Will and Testament and none other---for Settling of my Temporal Estate and Such Goods, Chattels and Debts as it hath Pleased God to bestow upon me, I do order give and Dispose ye same in manner and form following...I Will...all those Debts (that) I owe...shall be...paid...within convenient time after my Decease...Imprimis: I...Bequeath unto my beloved wife Sarah Phipps my best feather Bed with all my best furniture belonging unto it both Wooling and linin I...Bequeath unto my son Joseph Phipps Six Shillings of lawful Money of Pennsylvania.

From an abstract of Joseph's 1709 will, he left son Joseph six shillings, son Isaiah six shillings and son John plantation. These 3 sons were the only children listed in the will. There wre other children who may have been provided for outside of the will. "In the records of Chester Co., PA, October 6, 1683 at a metting held a the house of Christopher Taylor, Burlington, NJ 'Joseph Phipps, late of the town of Reading, Berks co, England, Tallow Candler,' was appointed on a committee" From The Ancestry of Isaac N Phipps of In, IN, compiled by Joseph B Phipps, Baltimore, MD, 1901. Biography above fails to mention that Joseph Phipps also was a member of the Assembly on May 10th, 1690, and again on September 9th, 1695. He was also a member of the Provincial Council for the years 1692 and c. (See Unpublished Minutes of the Provincial Council, 1692, Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography, vol II, Page 151.) In the proceedings of the Provincial Council held at Philadelphia 16th, 9br. 1703, it will be found that he was one of a committee of six from Philadelphia County appointed to View "the said two Roads as now laid out or intended in ye county of Chester and viewing also ye Ground between ye sd Roads and Philada and between Goshen and Brandywine." In 1697 William Jenkins removed from Haverford to Abington. His name appears in Abington monthly meeting Minutes, 10th month 27th, 1697, being appointed with Joseph Phipps to solicit subscriptions in Philadelphia towards the erection of the new Meeting House.

W. Owens worked for the Frisco RR in Monet, MO. There was an extended railroad strike in 1923 and caused some twelve families from Monet to move to Washington, IN where their railroad employment continued. They included the Paynes, Haynes (finally went back), Millers (went back later), Coatneys, Wires (went back early). Chas. W. Owens lived in what was called lt. house keeping in the Walker home (folks of Paul Walker) and later in the Mileys home. In Monet, they attended the Methodist Protestant Church on the hill. A. Lucille Owens Gaither only remembers attending the Free Methodist Church through influence of Walkers and Mileys. A. Lucille was three and Mother ten when they moved to Washington. C. W. Owens worked in the railroad shop in Monett until an extended workmen strike caused them to move to Washington, IN in 1923 to work at the B & O Roundhouse there. Chas. died at age of 48. He worked often in Ohio at Paynesville, Columbus, and Estabulla, Toledo for short periods of time. He died of a ruptured appendix - perionidus. He was a car repairman for RR, a carpenter. His father was also a carpenter in Monet. Uncle Boots was in Washington for awhile. He too was a B & O carpenter. During winter of '35-36', Charles was away from home, Lucille and Mother at home alone, and their mother got a piece of toothpick lodged in her intestines and perinoidus set in.

OWENS DIES FOLLOWING BRIEF ILLINESS Jersey Street Woman Died in Hospital of Peritonitis. Mrs. Veda Elmira Owens, 40, wife of Charles W. Owens of Jersey Street, died this morning at 5 o'clock at the Daviess County Hospital where Thursday she submitted to a major operation. Death of the woman was attributed to peritonitis, which had developed prior to the operation. She had been seriously ill since last Sunday, but had been in failing health for some time prior to that. Doctors this morning explained that starting last Sunday Mrs. Owens suffered severe cramping, then experienced locked bowels. Thursday noon an operation was performed, and two of the intestines were found grown togethr. Further probing revealed that a piece of toothpick had been swallowed by Mrs. Owens at some time, and that it had worked through one of the intestines, causing a sore which reslted in the intestines growing together and causing the fatal illness. Peritonitis developed to cause ehr death early today. Born in Stone County, Missouri, on September 1, 1895, the deceased was a daughter of Francis Marion Taylor and Jane Philbert Taylor. The father survives and lives at Monett, Missouri, but the mother preceded the daugter in death. Mrs. Owens was married to Charles W. Owens on December 25, 1910, and three children were born to the union, one dying in infancy and the other two being survivors. They are Mrs. Lorene Gines of Washington and Lucille Owens, at home. Brothers and sisters surviving are Lafe and Otis Taylor, Mrs. Lavina Martin of Waco, Texas, Mrs. Velie Stewart of Jenkins, Missouri, and Mrs. Dollie Dummitt of Monett, Missouri. Mrs. Owens was a member of the Free Methodist Church and of the Security Benefit Association of this city. Funeral arrangements are not complete. James A. Gill and Sons will have charge. IN MEMBORY OF MRS. CHARLES OWENS There's a seat empty in our church today For some one who has gone away, She has gone to be with Jesus In the land of perfect day. "Tis our dear Sister Owens who we all loved so well She has said good night to us here, To go to a better world than this "Tis where they know no fear. She has gone from this world of sorry Gone from this world of pain She will never have sickness or sorrow Or heartaches ever again. I'm sure she's happy in Heaven Where Jesus, the Lamb is the Light, Where never cometh the darkness For everything's lovely and bright. She is feasting with Jesus in heaven Resting beneath the green tree She is looking toward the Pearly Gates Wathing for you and for me. Although our hearts were saddened When we said good night to her here Our hearts will also be gladdened When we say good morning up there. This poem was written by Nellie Burrous in memory of my mother at her death. Lorene Gines POSTCARDS COPIED AS WRITTEN FROM VEDA TAYLOR (Wanda L.

Taylor, who died one year ago, July 29, 1928. Earth has lost its look of gladness, Heaven seems to be more bright, Since the spirit of our mother Took its heavenly flight. In life we loved her dearly And in death we do the same. Dear mother, I often sit and think Of you and wish you were here again. I think of you dear mother in silence-- No eye can see me weep But many a silent tear I shed While others are asleep. Dear mother, could you speek to us And live with us again Our aching hearts then would be eased But this we wish in vain. You are gone, Mother, but not forgotten Never will they memory fade, Sweetest thought shall ever linger Around the grave where you are laid. Just the crossing of the river, Just a stepping on the shore; Then the joys of life eternal All were yours. For the Master whom we follow In his word has plainly said, That you're only sweetly sleeping Though you're numbered with the dead. The stars are dimly shining Upon your new-made grave, Where you sleep without waking You were loved but could ot save. Sweet adn peaceful be your slumber Forget you I can never But God called you home, He knows best, His will be done forever. F. M. Taylor O. L. Taylor L. S.

An Aunt and Uncle wanted to adopt the brother but back then relatives were not allowed to adopt children from the same family. Nothing is known of the brother who was adopted by someone else. The mother may have remarried. The name John has traced is Vivian (Peel) Adams. She is buried in Davenport, Iowa. Per Mary Ann Cramer.

A son's marriage record gives Seligman, Mo. as their home location. He was a carpenter living in Monett, Mo. for 30 years. His tombstone says "Not My Will but Thine be Done". According to Sonja Bentley's notes, Catholic Wiley and Ocie lived in the Owens Bend area of Stone Co. Verified by "History of Stone County, Missouri--Stone County Hist. Soc., 1989, p. 555. Wiley Catholic Green Shelby Owens was of the Owens Bend area, Stone County, MO, and was a carpenter. In a letter to Lorene Gines from Lou Davis dated July 15, 1985 she states that her mother, Helen Owens Gaines, said that grandpa was born, married and died on July 13. The birth and death dates may be correct, but we have a totally different marriage date. 1910 CENSUS Wiley C.

194	I00747	Spelling may be Ossie Artelia Parmelia Palestine Moudy. (Oscie, Ossie, Osce, Ocelia, Parmalia, Permillia). She died in childbirth and was buried with the child. Her mother died when she was real tiny and she was raised by Grandmother Riddle, her mother's mother, Martha (Riddle) Moudy. She was a half sister to Dora Summers. There was not quite 2 yrs. between them but they weren't together until good sized girls.
195	I00748	There is a remote possibility that he was born Chester Co., S.C. (1830 census) in section that later became N.C. He was a Wagon Maker 1850 in NC; laborer same census in TN; Farmer in MO after 1860. Religion: Methodist 1860 and 1900 census reports show him in Missouri. May 1, 1985 Dear Friend: (Leonard Carey) I appreciate so much the material you have sent me especially since we are not sure that Wiley Catholic Owens has a connection with William King Owens. However, it is fascinating to me. For quite some time I have worked on the Gines line. An old trunk which became ours on the death of Herald's parents gave us much information. There were family Bibles, personal Bibles (over 100 years old), birth certificates dated 1843, marriage licenses, pictures and old postal cards. I've gone through them many times. Our name was originally spelled Geines. There are some old postal cards addressed to Herald's grandmother as Mrs. Hannah Gines, others to Mrs. Hannah Geines, so we know that somewhere in here some one became lazy and dropped the "e". About 1976 we located the graves for his grandparents and they were both spelled Geines. I have also put together some facts on Grandmother Taylor, the Philiberts, from articles Aunt Dolly has sent me. But back to the Owens. You will notice I have returned the set on Wiley Catholic Owens with some corrections. However, I have also made copies for #7 Aunt Rosa, #8 Uncle Opal, #9 Aunt Lois, and for #2 Charles Wiley Owens second marriage which I forgot the first time. Daddy was married in March, died in November, and his son was born the following March. Pauline married again when their son was quite small to a Washington man, but his work was in Pittsburg, Pa. They then went there to live so we were practically strangers. I have written to Charles and Jane asking for data but have received no answer. A neighbor friend looked at records at the court house for me for most I have on their second marriage. Names are from pictures. I have also written to Aunt Goldie, Uncle Boots wife, but no answer. If I ever get that complete it will be quite long. I'm enclosing some money. I'm sure it will not pay for your work but postal rates are certainly not cheap. Thank you again for what you have done for me and are doing. Always, Lorene Gines P.S. I have had a copy of this set made for I wanted especially the note at the end. I understand that Ft. Wayne, Indiana has one of the best libraries and that is where our son lives. Hopefully we can go there and stay long enough that I can see what I can find. Herald usually doesn't want to stay because of work, gardening, etc. If I get word from Aunt Goldie do you still want it? I'm not sure of what I have down for #1 Uncle Boots. I've always known Aunt Goldie's mother as Mrs. Jagers but have been told her father's name was Tinker. I hope the grandchildren are in the right places. Green remarried to Elizabeth Henley and moved to Salina, OK late 1924 or early 1925.
196	I00749	Other family sources have her maiden name as Roberts.
197	I00750	Per Sonja Bentley she died in Monett, Barry County, Missouri.
198	I00751	Per Sonja Bentley he was born and died in Monett, Barry County, Missouri. Per Sonja Bentley Milburn and Rachel have a child, Granville Terry,b. 1880.
199	I00752	Stephen died before sixth child, Letha Ann, was born. Nancy then married Milburn Monroe Terry, whose wife--Stephen's sister Rachel Lavina--had died giving birth to their fifth child, Leonard Elwood Owens. Together, Nancy Caroline Badgett and Milburn Monroe Terry had a child. I (wlgines) am confused. Leonard Elwood Owens is the fifth child of Stephen F. and Nancy Caroline Badgett Owens, not the fifth child of Milburn Monroe and Rachel Lavina Owens Terry. The above information comes from the book published by Marvin D. Owens on the Green Owens line. Stephen's date of birth may be 1860. He may have been born in Missouri.
